Rinse and repeat.

This is the 5th straight draft Ottawa is in the top 10. They have paid their first lottery pick big money and he enters year 2 of a 7 year deal. Who knows how much convincing Tkachuk to sign was promising the team is intending on competing right away?
Their trading away of the Byram pick was nullified by getting Stutzle from the Sharks so this will be their 5th top 10 pick in a row.
I am being told that you only need to tank for 3 years to start turning it around but you and many who thanked the post believe they are rushing it 5 drafts after they started their rebuild.
